"The line at the always-busy Mother’s Best Chicken moves quickly, so you’ll have your big bucket of herby, perfectly crispy fried chicken in short order. You can get an eight-piece bucket with two sides, like tangy collard green coleslaw and hearty rice and beans, for $32, making it an easy option for a family meal. Or bring a few friends to the diner-like space and turn things into a quick dinner and drinks outing since there are plenty of beers on tap and a thick, boozy frozen Irish coffee that comes with a crinkly-cut fry." - juli horsford, jacinta howard, nina reeder
